What Does an Architectural Design Service Do in Rock Hill, SC?

Our architectural designers offer honest, realistic opinions on project feasibility, cost, and timeline so you feel confident and informed before you even start designing in Rock Hill.

Assess Viability

One of the most important things we do for homeowners in South Carolina is honestly assess the viability of their residential construction projects. Phase One can visit the site, discuss your top items and features for the house, and talk about budget and timeline. You should know exactly where you stand entering the next stage.

Develop Designs

Once we know more about what you want and need in the house, we can start developing floor plans and designs. You will get several drafts of floor plans and layouts, and can make as many changes as you need. The design stage should be a collaborative effort, and you should not hesitate to voice your opinions after reviewing layout concepts or 3D renderings from our architectural designers.

Finalize Construction Plans

The result of your approval and our finalization is the permit-ready blueprint construction plans necessary to build with a contractor. We set you up with all the information a contractor needs to make the plans a reality, and can even help you find the right contractor for the job.

Find Solutions

Rely on our architectural designers to find solutions to hurdles like dealing with an uneven elevation or achieving your desired aesthetic with the amount you want to spend. Instead of panicking because of an unexpected structural issue during a renovation or worrying about choosing the right energy-efficient appliances and features, you can let our architectural designers help come up with the answer.
